12.5" KV182 Heavy-Duty Shelf Bracket, Titanium Finish
Description
12.5 Inch KV182 Bracket For Strong Shelving
12.5 inch KV182 heavy-duty shelf bracket defines this Knape and Vogt support as a 12.5 inch long steel bracket built for heavier shelf loads in closets, garages, or storage runs where a compact length still needs serious strength. The bracket is part of the KV Model KV182 line, so it matches that proven standard-bracket system and lets installers keep runs consistent across a project. The titanium finish is identified as a special order option, giving projects a specific color tone when the job calls for that finish. The bracket is listed in the Shelf Standards and Brackets class, so it is intended as the load-carrying arm working with standards along a wall. The manufacturer part 182 TI 12.5 clearly ties this length and finish together, helping buyers match drawings and reorder by exact part number.
Heavy-Duty Shelf Bracket Details That Matter
- The bracket is described as heavy-duty with a weight rating of 200-425 lb per pair based on length, so it supports demanding shelving loads when sized correctly along a run.
- The KV Model KV182 design is typically used with the KV82 series standard, creating a matched standard-and-bracket system that keeps wall tracks and arms engineered to work together.
- The titanium finish on this version is specified as a special order, allowing projects to align bracket color with other titanium-finished components when that appearance is desired.
- The bracket has two engagement teeth that fasten the bracket to the standards, giving a positive connection into the standard slots to resist dislodging during loading.
- Two holes in the bottom of the bracket allow the bracket to be fastened directly to the shelf, tying wood or panel stock firmly to the steel arm for more secure installations.
Bracket Construction And Fit For Shelving Runs
The Knape and Vogt KV182 bracket family uses 16-gauge steel in the 5 inch through 12.5 inch lengths, so this 12.5 inch version follows that gauge and offers a stiff arm within that size range. Longer KV182 brackets from 14-1/2 inch through 24 inch lengths are built from 14-gauge steel, defining how the line increases material for longer projections. The overall line is offered in Almond, Black, and White finishes, showing that the system can coordinate with different design schemes across jobs. This 12.5 inch titanium finish is called out separately as special order, so it aligns specifically with projects that match that color while still using the same structural design.
Using The KV182 Bracket In Storage Projects
Where The 12.5 Inch KV182 Bracket Fits Best
The KV Model KV182 is typically used with the KV82 series standard, placing this 12.5 inch titanium bracket directly into those standards for adjustable shelving in closet, garage, or shop layouts. The bracket spans 12.5 inches from the standard, giving a medium-depth shelf projection suited to many storage shelves without reaching into the longest sizes in the line. Available lengths for the KV182 series run from 5 inch, 7 inch, 10-1/2 inch, 12-1/2 inch, 14-1/2 inch, 18-1/2 inch, up through 24 inch, so installers can mix this 12.5 inch option with shorter or longer arms in one installation while keeping the same profile. The bracket is part of the Shelf, Closet & Garage Organization category, tying its role directly to adjustable wall-mounted storage systems.
Details That Support Repeatable, Heavy-Duty Results
The weight rating of 200-425 lb per pair for the KV182 bracket line, based on length, defines how these arms handle substantial shelf loads when used within their stated range. This rating gives installers a clear capacity target when deciding where the 12.5 inch bracket belongs among the length options. Two engagement teeth on each bracket fasten into the standards, creating a keyed connection that resists unseating as loads are added or as shelves are adjusted. Two holes in the bottom of the bracket allow it to be fastened to the shelf, locking plywood, melamine, or other shelf materials to the steel arm so shelves stay aligned during use. The brackets are made in USA, reflecting domestic manufacturing for projects that call out that origin as part of their specification requirements.
